Community Project: Our Web Design Project for Thanet Trades

At Codex, we believe in the power of a digital solutions to strengthen communities. That’s why we were thrilled to work on a project that directly benefits local businesses and the residents. We recently built a brand-new, community-based website for Thanet Trades, an online business directory designed to help people in the Thanet area easily find trusted local trade businesses – without the high costs associated with national directories.

A Digital Hub for Local Trades

Thanet Trades was created to bridge the gap between skilled tradespeople and local customers. From plumbers and electricians to carpenters and decorators, the platform provides a dedicated space where businesses can showcase their services to potential clients in their area.

For tradespeople, advertising online can be expensive, with national platforms like Checkatrade and TrustATrader often charging significant fees for visibility. Thanet Trades, however, offers a much more affordable alternative, businesses can advertise for just £10 per month while still reaching hundreds of potential customers.

Our Web Design Approach

Our goal was to create a user-friendly and visually appealing website that made it easy for both businesses and customers to navigate. Some key features of the site include:

• Simple Search Functionality – Visitors can quickly find trade professionals based on category or location.
• Affordable Business Listings – An intuitive sign-up process allowing local businesses to create profiles and advertise their services at a low cost.
• Mobile-Friendly Design – Ensuring customers can browse and connect with tradespeople on any device.
• SEO Optimisation – Helping Thanet Trades rank well in local searches so businesses can be easily discovered.

Why This Matters

Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, and we are proud to have developed a platform that helps them thrive. By keeping advertising costs low, Thanet Trades allows skilled professionals to compete without the burden of high listing fees, while residents benefit from a trusted and easy way to find local services.

Our Partnership Discount – FREE access

We are proud to announce that any trade businesses that come to us for a web design project, they will get FREE access to the Thanet Trades directory.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited to see how Thanet Trades grows and supports the community. As the platform evolves, we’ll continue to refine and enhance the website, ensuring it remains a valuable resource for both businesses and residents.
